Match report

usters won the toss and inserted us, so that they could put the barbie on, while they batted later. Fortunately they had suggested 25 overs, as we had only 80 odd after 20. The last 5 though yielded a glut and we finished on 155, Adrian West retiring on 35 and Jay Stockham (on debut) and Jamie Williams chipping in usefully. Our impressive line-up of bowlers consisting of Weston-Simons, Davies, West, Ansbro and Webster was too good for them, Sam taking 4 and John 3. The only risk was that we would get them all out too quickly, so allowing back their 120 hockey cap South African, who had retired earlier after some monumental hitting. Happily, when this did happen, they needed 40 odd off 4 and perished 23 short. We were entertained very generously afterwards by our hosts, to whom many thanks.
